AMErICAN PSYCHOLogical AsSOCIATION - science & research based therapy

As an EFT therapist, my goal is to help you access your own internal wisdom and strength while offering you the tools and roadmaps necessary to overcome any relationship hurdles. With clarity and support, you can move forward with ease, confidence and freedom from suffering.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) holds the APA Gold Standard of couples, individual and family (including children, teens, step-families) counseling because of its rigorous research and outcome studies on the efficacy of the model and its interventions.

EFT is a proven system that helps identify our emotional patterns, styles, triggers and blindspots. It is based on the understanding that the core of our emotional foundation is bonding and connection. EFT helps us understand our attachment style and offers the comfort and support we need to connect safely and successfully with one another whether at home or at work.

I received my degree in Theology and pastoral counseling from Harvard and I live and coach others in life according to Torah mandates and observance. Torah guides and permeates every aspect of my life both personal and professional. I look forward to assisting you in your journey towards wholeness and joy.

“A problem cannot be solved

from the same level of thinking

in which it was created…”

Courage & FAITH

EXCERPTS TESTIMONIALS…

“Rivka reminds me of that therapist in the “King’s Speech”. She is wildly intuitive, totally original and out of the box. I came to her with multiple dysfunctions I wasn't even aware of. She helped me in her own unique way which turned out to be exactly what I needed at that time. After 30 some years alone, I’m finally in a healthy, fulfilling relationship.”

- J. M.

“I was dating my boyfriend for 5 years and we were going no where. I worked with Rivka for 3 months and he proposed. We are married! It’s hard to believe even for me. Rivka is a miracle worker!"

- Laura S.

“When we first started therapy we were on the verge of divorce. Rivka advised us to “hold our horses” and work with her for 3 months. It has been 6 years and we still can’t thank her enough. To think we almost gave it all up.

- Mike & Ellie

“I grew up in a family that doesn’t believe in therapy because of the “shame” and I supposed the expense that’s attached to it so needless to say I was very hesitant at first, but now I wish I didn’t wait so long… I know Rivka was sent to me by some divine source. I had no idea that I was a “complex trauma” survivor and just understanding this one key thing about myself has liberated me… .”

- Leah G

“Rivka doesn’t do therapy. She is the therapy. Who she is heals you!”

-Stephen G

"I want to tell you thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you’ve done for my daughter. Because of you she’s interested in life again. Thank you for giving me back my daughter and thank you for helping her find her way. She came back stronger and our relationship is better than before. Thank you so much. I know God exists because of you."

- Cherie S.

“A friend recommended Rivka to me honestly I was skeptical, but something in me made me call her and it has made all the difference. Rivka is warm, real and insanely gifted at what she does. I cannot recommend her enough.”

- Sarah L

“My husband is anti-therapy and trusts no one, but one session with Rivka and he was onboard. She not only helped me in my marriage but saved our entire family from falling apart.”

- Devora R.

“I was very broken when my relationship ended, I really didn’t know how I was going to make it… . Rivka kept me afloat and helped me restore hope and move on… .”

- Moshe L.

“I am in constant awe and disbelief you were sent to me. Thank you Rivka”.

- Gus S.

“Every time I speak to you, I feel at least 10 pounds lighter. I fell asleep last night for the first time in a long time after talking to you. I don't know how I'd have made it through without you. I am ready to go into the world again.”

- Alex O.

Thank you for being the most dedicated and amazing seminary teacher we ever had. I feel ready to get married now despite growing up with a negative view of marriage.

Sarah G.

“Thank you for always reminding me that my children are pure, holy neshamot (souls) while I knew that in my heart, you taught me how to appreciate and interact with them. I just wanna express how thankful I am. I always feel like if anyone can understand me it is you.”

- Yael R.

“I wish I met Rivka years before, it would have saved me so much headaches and heartbreaks but then I only found her after I read her book.”

- Lens D.
